Nordic walking with baby in the sling

You get fit, enjoy the time with your baby in the sling in the great outdoors and make contact with other mothers. You improve your fitness, do something about the extra pounds gained in pregnancy and the child also enjoys being close to the body. Nordic walking with a child in a sling brings new vitality and fun to the family. It is an efficient whole-body sport that is easy on the joints and improves endurance. Installing the child correctly in the sling is extremely important and safety is our first priority.
